This subsection lists the required and the optional software for Agile Business Suite 7.0 Runtime for ClearPath MCP operations. Install the software according to the instructions included in the documentation for each item.
Using system software facilities to manipulate message content outside of functionality (for example, COMS PIs) is done at your own risk. |
CautionGeneral Software Requirements
Agile Business Suite 7.0 Runtime for ClearPath MCP supports System Software Release 58.1 and 59.1 , including:
COBOL85 (Note that COBOL74 cannot be used.)
DMS II and DMSII XE
DMSII XE requires Extended Edition. If you are using Extended Edition features, you must have a license for Extended Edition.
DMS/INQUIRY (optional)
ERGO (optional)
SYSTEM/CANDE
SYSTEM/BINDER
COMS
DMALGOL
Multi Lingual System (MLS)
NEWP compiler
To interface with the ADDS Dictionary, the ADDS software must be installed.
MCP Releases Supported in this Release
Release | Qualification EPSILON (LEVEL5) | Qualification ETA (LEVEL6) | ALGOL IC Level for DUMPINFO Compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|
MCP 20(SSR 62.0) | Supported | Qualified | MCP 62 [62.080.000] |
MCP 19 (SSR 60.0) | Supported | Qualified | ALGOL-060.0A.10 |
MCP 18 (SSR 59.1) | Supported | Qualified | ALGOL-059.1A.3 |
MCP 17 (SSR 58.1) | Supported | Not Supported | ALGOL-058.1A.12 |
Although this release supports MCP 17, it is recommended that you install MCP 18 to be able to use all features.
These features require MCP 18 (SSR 59.1):

Data Encryption
MCP Runtime Compatibility Matrix
Use this matrix to select an installation package for MCP Runtime.
AB Suite MCP Runtime Package | MCP Architecture ETA COMPILERTARGET LEVEL5 | MCP Architecture ETA COMPILERTARGET LEVEL6 |
|---|---|---|
EPSILON LEVEL5 code files | Compatible (MCP 19, 20) | Compatible (MCP 19, 20) |
ETA LEVEL6 code files | Incompatible | Compatible (MCP 19, 20) |
Note: Check the setting of the COMPILERTARGET option on your host. If it is set to LEVEL5, do not use the ETA package.
Although the ETA package has undergone full engineering testing, it is highly recommended to perform a complete regression test before using the ETA LEVEL6 package in production. |
AB Suite MCP Runtime will continue to ship two runtime packages until Unisys discontinues support for LEVEL5 code files.
For those who use Runtime Transfer, be aware that the LEVEL6 code files are incompatible with the EPSILON architecture. If your production machine has the EPSILON architecture, do not build the source system, for the transfer, with the ETA package. The LEVEL6 code files that are transferred to the machine with the EPSILON architecture does not run. |

Network Software Requirements
To support cross-host transactions, networking capability is required.
If you do not require cross-host communications, then local port capability is provided by LPPSUPPORT.
If you require cross-host communications, BNA V2, TCP, or OSI are required.
If you require interhost system services (for example, file transfers), you must also install Distributed System Services (DSS). You need to install this if you are going to use the Agile Business Suite Builder or the Remote Subroutine Server.
If you require Agile Business Suite Debugger to call subroutines on the host, you must install the Remote Subroutine Server (also known as LRSS) in addition to DSS. Refer to Installing and Configuring Remote Subroutine Server.
If you intend to use Enterprise Output Manager for printing Reports, then you need to install and configure the Enterprise Output Manager software for the MCP based hosts. This enables the MCP based applications to direct print output to the Enterprise Output Manager PC Server when the default output device is set to DP. Refer to the Enterprise Output Manager documentation for more information on installing and configuring Enterprise Output Manager on the MCP based host.
Other Software Release Compatibility
The following software release compatibility is required:
Developer
Agile Business Suite Release 7.0 supports Case Interchange File (LCIF) interchange with Enterprise Application Developer 3.3, and Agile Business Suite 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.1, and 7.0.
